Eco Ltd. Secures 1 000 000 USD Grant for Removal of Barriers to Energy Efficiency in the Biomass Sector in Kenya - 19 March 2006

Great strides in energy efficiency, energy conservation, and renewable energy are soon to be realized in Kenya with the recent awarding of a grant by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) to a project developed by Eco, Ltd., jointly with local parties, and on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme.

Eco Ltd has developed a Results-Based Monitoring (RBM) system for the Programme for Basic Energy and Conservation (ProBEC).

ProBEC commissioned the RBM system to meet the challenge of collecting high-quality consistent data across many projects and countries in a format that would meet diverse donor reporting requirements and inform the project implementation process.

Eco Ltd conceived the idea of a network where pro-development persons and organisations talk and learn from each other in June 2000.

Eco Ltd prepared a project brief for a medium scale project (MSP) for GTZ-ProBEC for submission to UNDP-GEF. The project aims to "Remove barriers to Biomass Energy Conservation in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and institutions in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)". Eco provided leadership in country data collection in Lesotho, Namibia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe and provided back-stopping for local consultants who collected data in Mozambique and South Africa.

Eco Ltd provides knowledge management expertise for the Renewable energy partnership for nd enterprise development. The project aims to build institutional capacity and source technical assistance in sustainable energy. As the knowledge managing partner, Eco has created and maintained the website for the programme.

The Household Energy Network (HEDON) was founded in 1992, initially as an effort to create a forum for northern partners with interest in household energy issues in the south. HEDON has since evolved into a global knowledge-oriented voluntary network of over 600 individuals and organisations from over 50 countries, focusing on energy in the context of acute poverty.

Eco is the lead consultant for the development of this lesson's learnt report on "Opportunities for Biomass Energy Programmes - Experiences and Lessons Learnt", which is part of a Lessons for the Future, Monitoring and Evaluation Report Series. Eco is also the author of the Southern and Eastern Africa, and the European region chapters of the report as well as the introductory and the concluding chapters.
